Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the fields of furnishings and cushions, and more particularly to the field of wheelchair seatbacks.
  • the invention is particularly suited for use with collapsible wheelchairs wherein a rigid, yet easily removable seatback is desired.
  • rigid seatbacks are generally preferred over sling-type seatbacks so that the user may achieve the most appropriate support for a given condition.
  • a rigid arrangement increases structural rigidity to the wheelchair, and provides a more effective force transmission element for active wheelchair users.
  • Another important object to any wheelchair seatback system not using a sling-type arrangement is that it be convenient to remove and install. Disabled users must frequently remove and install the wheelchair back and wheelchair cushion from the wheelchair in order to collapse the wheelchair for storage or transportation, and put it back together for use. This procedure, when performed independently by a user with impaired mobility, is often accomplished from the driver's side seat or passenger's side seat of an automobile. To collapse the wheelchair, the user must first reach out and remove the back.
  • the wheelchair may then be collapsed and be placed in the desired location, such as the rear seat of the automobile.
  • the user will typically pull the collapsed chair from the rear seat of the car and unfold the chair at ground level next to the car. Once the frame is unfolded, the user must then reach out and attach the seatback onto the wheelchair. Both disassembly and assembly are usually accomplished mostly with one hand because the disabled user must maintain support with the other hand, normally by grasping the steering wheel.
  • the nominal diameter of the posts may vary from Vz to V/A '.
  • the center to center distances of the posts may vary ⁇ Vz despite the typical designation by the wheelchair manufacturer that the chair is a nominal width to the nearest inch (i.e., an 18" wide wheelchair may actually measure 17.6" wide).
  • These vertical posts may also not be parallel and indeed are designed to taper outward from bottom to top. All of these variations along with the metric size requirements offered by foreign wheelchair manufacturers demand either a custom made seatback system or a custom fit off-the-shelf seatback system with considerable adjustability through the available size ranges of wheelchairs.
  • prior art systems have generally failed to provide a suitable degree of adjustability, without loss of seat depth, in conjunction with a system that is easily attached or detached from the wheelchair and that is also capable of seatback angle adjustment with no loss of seat depth while the user is occupying the wheelchair.
  • Available systems known to date have also failed to incorporate both the capability to adjust the seatback angle while the user is in the wheelchair and a removably attachable mounting system that does not alter the adjusted seatback angle each time the back system is removed from the wheelchair.
  • the prior art seatback systems have generally failed to address the related problems of maintaining pelvic alignment while the back system is adjusted to the optimum seat to seatback angle.
  • the invention is directed to an adjustable and removable seatback system for use with any chair having four seatback mounting locations, but particularly with respect to such a seatback for use with a wheelchair having two vertical posts or canes.
  • the present invention permits convenient, single-handed attachment or detachment of the seatback to and from a wheelchair without pre-release or actuation of latches or safety hooks.
  • the invention also provides a seatback mounting system that securely self locks, but unlocks easily with a simple positive action by the user to release the back system from the wheelchair.
  • the seatback can be conveniently released from its mountings by a simple forward rotational motion through a prescribed angle in conjunction with a lifting action.
  • the invention permits a user to quickly modify the seatback tilt, anterior-posterior location, and height while the user is seated in the back system. Moreover, once established, the seatback position is maintained regardless of removal and reinstallation onto a wheelchair.
  • Further attributes of the invention include a high level of adaptability for use with various wheelchairs, vibration resistance, lightweight, modular design, and safety.
  • the seatback system comprises, in part, a rigid shell seatback having mounted thereto a first pair of laterally extending pin assemblies and a second pair of laterally extending pin assemblies where each pin assembly has an extending pin portion.
  • the system also comprises a first pair of mounting clips and a second pair of mounting clips.
  • the first pair of mounting clips selectively retains the first pair of pins while the second pair of mounting clips temporarily retains the second pair of pins so long as the first pair of extending pins is secured by the first pair of mounting clips.
  • the second pair of mounting clips can be generally identical to the first pair of mounting clips, although ease of use of the invention may be compromised since user manipulation of the second pair of mounting clips would be necessary in addition to the first pair.
  • each laterally extending pin assembly comprises a pin bar having a bar and an orthogonally attached pin, as well as an "L" bracket wherein the "L" bracket is adjustably mounted (laterally) to the rigid shell seatback so that the invention can be used in conjunction with various wheelchair post spacings.
  • the pin bar is translationally mounted to the "L” bracket so that the anterior-posterior location of the seatback can be easily modified. Because a preferred embodiment uses asymmetrical pin bars (the pin is located at one end of the bar), it is further possible to reverse the orientation of the pin bar on the "L” bracket to further increase the adjustability of the seatback position.
  • the first pair of mounting clips are preferably self-locking and manually releasing, and are mounted to an upper portion of the wheelchair's vertical posts or canes.
  • the second pair of mounting clips are preferably "U" shaped members mounted to a lower portion of a wheelchair' vertical posts or canes wherein the web portion of the "U" receives the pin.
  • the location of the first pair and second pair of clips can be reversed without adverse effect to the operation of the invention.
  • a preferred embodiment also includes a cushion removably attached to the rigid shell seatback wherein the cushion preferably is of the self-inflating type and resides in a cover having one part of a two part mounting means affixed thereto.

  • Seatback system 20 is intended to be mounted to a conventional wheelchair having a pair of vertical posts or canes 24a and 24b.
  • Seatback system 20 comprises shell 30 to which are mounted L-brackets with pin bar assemblies 70a, 70b, 70c, and 70d (generally referred to as pin bar assemblies 70 unless otherwise indicated, as each assembly consists of identical components); upper mounting clips 90a and 90b; lower clips 140c and 140d; and cushion assembly 50.
  • All structural components are preferably manufactured from lightweight metals such as aluminum or alloys such as aluminum- magnesium, or high strength polymers such as acrylic-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin.
  • ABS acrylic-butadiene-styrene
  • shell 30 is preferably a hard rigid matrix, which extends between wheelchair posts 24a and 24b, and provides mechanical support for seatback system 20.
  • shell 30 is formed from an aluminum alloy having a sectional thickness of about 50 to 100 mils.
  • the overall width of shell 30 should not extend beyond the internal minimum width of posts 24a and 24b for the size range of wheelchairs that the particular seatback size is designed. It is desirable that the maximum width of shell 30 clear the inside of posts 24a and 24b so that shell 30 may be reclined there through.
  • the preferred embodiment has five sections across the horizontal of the part: central portion 40, first lateral portions 42a and 42b, and second lateral portions 44a and 44b.
  • Central portion 40 may have a slight anterior concave curvature depending upon the intended application and design considerations.
  • First lateral portions 42a and 42b of shell 30 extend anteriorly and laterally to form an approximately 45 degree angle with central portion 40.
  • the profile of shell 30 is designed to fit either conventional folding wheelchairs, which typically have two or three upwardly extending tubular posts, or to fit a rigid non-folding wheelchair, which differs from the folding type in that a formed tubular structure (not shown) extends between the vertical posts for added stability.
  • First lateral portions 42a and 42b are generally flat and provide an excellent surface to mount pin bar assemblies 70, as well as to provide support for cushion 52.
  • Lower mounting slots 32c and 32d are punched, milled or fabricated in first lateral portions 42a and 42b of shell 30 (about 10-40% from the bottom of the shell), as best shown in Fig. 2. This distance corresponds to a level equivalent to a seated user's preferred pelvic alignment control points (posterior iliac crests).
  • Upper mounting slots 32a and 32b are punched in first lateral portions 42a and 42b of shell 30 (about 50-80% from the bottom of the shell). This distance provides sufficient structural support and balance to seatback system 20.
  • upper and lower pin bar assemblies 70 are semi-permanently, but adjustably, attached in their respective locations to shell 30 at these locations. Slots 32a-d allow for selected lateral placement and indexing of the pin bar assemblies along the range of the slotted holes.
  • Hand grip cut-out 34 is provided at the upper central portion of shell 30 to facilitate handling of seatback system 20 during removal or installation procedures.
  • cut-out 34 provides a means whereby flap 48 of cover 62 may more securely engage shell 30 as will be described in more detail below.
  • a plurality of fastening means for securely, but removably, attaching cushion assembly 50 to shell 30.
  • a two part hook and loop fastening system is used.
  • sections of self-adhesive hook material 38 are disposed on shell 30 substantially as shown in Fig. 2.
  • complementary loop material is fixedly attached to the posterior portion of cushion assembly 50 whereby the position of cushion assembly 50 is relatively fixed to shell 30 upon engagement of the hook and loop sections.
  • potentially exposed peripheral edges of shell 30 are preferably fitted with a rubber-like polymer material piping 36 (with internal metal pieces offering reinforcement).
  • Cushion assembly 50 which is best illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4, comprises self-inflating cushion 52 and cover 62.
  • Cushion assembly 50 provides the wheelchair user increased positioning control because of the contour which partially envelopes a seated user's back.
  • Cushion assembly 50's contour is rigidly supported by all anterior portions of shell 30 (central portion 40, first lateral portions 42a and 42b, and second lateral portions 44a and 44b), although a certain level of self-contour is inherent in cushion 52.
  • Cushion 52 is preferably fabricated according to the methods disclosed in
  • the height of cushion 52 may be approximately the same as shell 30, with a small extension to provide overlap of the shell perimeter.
  • the posterior of cushion 52 has essentially the same profile as shell 30, except that it preferably extends laterally beyond second lateral portions 44a and 44b so as to minimize user contact with the shell perimeter.
  • the anterior face of cushion 52 is specifically contoured to provide a suitable level of positioning and support to a seated user.
  • the anterior surface has several vertically spaced segments generally corresponding to the anterior portions of shell 30 that are defined in part by vertical grooves 56.
  • a feature of cushion 52 is that it has a pre-established curvature. This curvature approximates the curvature of shell 30 and is accomplished by creating a curved foam core blank to which the coated fabric is bonded. Moreover, while both the anterior and posterior fabric panels are of generally equal area and the two panels are bonded together at their common perimeter, the anterior fabric must occupy vertical grooves 56 of cushion 52. Consequently, when the anterior panel is bonded to the foam core, the perimeter portions thereof are urged towards a point central and above the anterior surface, thereby creating an anteriorly concave profile in cushion 52.
  • Cover 62 is constructed from a breathable fabric material and removably envelops cushion 52.
  • cover 62 has attached thereto loop material 68, which permits location of cushion assembly 50 on shell 30.
  • Flap 48 which also has a portion of loop material 68 thereon, is insertable from the posterior side of shell 30 through hole 34, over and above the upper perimeter portion of shell 30. It engages hook material 38 on the posterior surface of shell 30 to provided for a secure fastening means that will prevent vertical movement of cushion assembly 50 on shell 30.
  • On the anterior surface of cover 62 is highly breathable fabric panel 64. The location of panel 64 generally corresponds to the location of a user's back when engaging seatback system 20.
  • the interior surface of panel 64 has bonded thereto a reticulated foam section that provides mechanical support of cover 62 from cushion 52 while ensuring sufficient ventilation properties.
  • the reticulated foam is formed from expanded polymer resin, it also operates as a flame retardant barrier, thus providing greater flame resistance to cushion 52, which preferably is constructed in major part from urethane foam, a flammable material.
  • each pin bar assembly 70 is arranged to have a mirror image of each other viz a viz the sagittal plane with assembled on shell 30.
  • Screws 84 and collar nuts 86 function to secure each bracket 82 to shell 30, and screws 88 function to secure each pin bar 72 to bracket 82.
  • Brackets 82 function to permit lateral adjustment of pin bars 72 to accommodate variations in the distance between posts 24a and 24b, while slot 76 of each pin bar 72 functions to permit anterior-posterior adjustment of shell 30 relative to the wheelchair as shown in Figs. 5-8.
  • further shell adjustment can be achieved as again specifically shown in Fig. 8.
  • Detents 78 in each slot 76 function to positively index a position of pin bar 72 relative to bracket 82 so that symmetry between each pin bar assembly pair and/or between pairs is easily maintained.
  • screws 84 and 88 include a thread locking device or compound to resist unintentional disengagement due to vibration and the like.
  • Each pin bar 72 as previously described has bar portion 74 and extending pin portion 80. Bar portion defines slot 76 and pin portion 80 extends orthogonally from bar portion 74. Because pin portion 80 is located at one end of bar portion 74, inherent asymmetry permits a great latitude of mounting possibilities on bracket 82 as best shown again in Fig. 8.
  • Pin portion 80 is sized to fit within the confines of either mounting clip 90 or mounting clip 140. As illustrated in Figs.
  • mounting clip 90 includes vertical post clamp portion 92, bracket portion 94, rotatable cam body 102, and pawl 116.
  • Other components include spring 132, retainer 100, ball extension 130, and shafts 134.
  • Cam body 102 defines major recess 106, minor recess 108, groove 110, and includes peripheral surface 112 as well as portion 114.
  • Pawl 116 has exposed portion 118, fork portion 120, which includes a fork-like structure having major finger 122 and minor finger 124, spring locator 128, and ball extension 130.
  • Mounting clip 90 functions to releasably hold pin portion 80 therein when inserted into slot 98 of bracket portion 94 and major recess 106 of cam body 102 as is best shown in Fig. 10.
  • major finger 122 rests in groove 110.
  • the light pressure created by spring 132 on pawl 116 prevents unintended rotation of cam 102 due to the position of major finger 132.
  • cam body 102 rotates until major finger 122 engages minor recess 108 of cam body 102.
  • Spring 132 again operates to create light pressure of fork portion 120 on cam body 102, thereby preventing rotation of cam body 102.
  • major finger 122 disengages from minor recess 108.
  • mounting clip 140 functions to provide a captive perch for pin portion 80, as best shown in Figs. 12 and 13.
  • Pin portion 80 is restrained from anterior and posterior movement by way of post 24 and extension 46, and is restrained from downward movement by recess 148. Upward movement of pin portion 80 is restrained only when pin bar 72 is positively retained in mounting clip 90. Otherwise, as illustrated in Figs. 12 and 13, a pin bar assembly is free to move upwardly and thus release shell 30 from the wheelchair.
  • each shim 150 is preferably formed from a compliant polymer resin material, and is insertable between clamp portion 92 or 142 and a post 24. Either with or without shims 150, each mounting clip 90 and 140 is compressively retained to a post.
  • a thread locking device or compound is preferably used so as to prevent unintentional loosening of a mounting clip.
